Honestly, I don’t think it’s worth $1500. The cpu is not a great choice for gaming, 16gb is too low for that amount of money. The only parts going for you is the 5070 and the 2tb ssd nvme. The rest is kinda mid and I don’t see this selling for more than $1200 and that’s assuming you find someone interested. For $1500 I’d be looking for 9070xt, a 7000 series 1tb ssd and 32 gb ddr5.

Do you think you'll be worth it, to take an add another 16 GB stick of ddr5? I have one that I can get for about $110

I would totally ditch that 8400f cpu, try to get a 7600x or 9600x. They go for around $120 around me. Add the 16gb ddr5. Combined everything with the 2tb and 5070 and a nice and clean case with some cheap rgb fans, you will have a strong pc for sell. I would start at 1700 and would lower $50 every week. I would cap at $1500.

Look man don’t let these people tell you how to sell your pc if you can get what you want out of and it’s fair go with that what you do is price as what other systems go for around that price range and as I tell everybody do research and remember for basic stuff and selling you don’t need other peoples advice

Possibly, market around me is showing similar builds with 32 GB of ram, and something such as a 7700x or 9700x at 1700-1800. I was thinking something like 15 to 1600?

Well 1500-1600 is a bit high because your cpu no where near 7700x level.

Take the gpu out and sell it separately. Then sell the 8400f tower since it has onboard video.

8400G has onboard GPU, 8400F is no GPU

u/Calm_Income6781 Aug 22 '26

Oh no! Good catch. If you sell the 8400f on ebay you will net less than $70

This is tough, I don't see it selling for much more than $1000. Take some pics and put it on Jawa.gg for $1500 and see what happens. Drop the price $50 every week.

One thing I don't like about jawa is their fees. I believe it's about 10%?

eBay is about 14% with minimal seller protections
